About Stand Up for Cancer Support

Paddle with Purpose

Our hearts beat to the rhythm of paddle strokes on water - not just for the thrill and serenity paddle sports offer but for the ripple effect it creates in supporting a meaningful cause. We're paddling for education and support resources for people and families facing cancer. Two people will navigate the 734 miles of the Missouri River in Montana on stand up paddle boards to Stand Up for those that can't and shine a light on the power of cancer support to provide a beacon of hope, compassion, and empowerment for those facing the journey of cancer. The first 246 miles were paddled in 2024 and the next 206 will happen this year for 10 days in September.

Mission Statement

To uplift and strengthen people impacted by cancer by providing support, fostering compassionate communities, and breaking down barriers to care.

Our Partners

We partner with a variety of organizations and businesses in our community to provide services to patients, caregivers and families.
